Nerdist Podcast: Dr. Demento

Share:

The amazing Dr. Demento was kind enough to take a break from his own show and come on the podcast! Chris and Jonah profess their love for the doctor, Dan Pasternack joins in the discussion of favorite comedy albums, and Matt Bennett stops by a bit!

LOVE Dr. D! I used to lay on the floor in the living room of my parent’s house, with the headphones on, taping his shows so I wouldn’t miss any songs I didn’t have yet. Then I would memorize them and hide the tapes so my friends wouldn’t take them. Live long and prosper, Dr. Demento! We love you!

I love that he mentioned, briefly, that he used to host specials on MTV, that is how I first got introduced to a lot of the ‘staples’. I first saw the video for Fish Heads by Barnes and Barnes on one of his MTV specials. Once I found him on the radio I would stay up late on Sunday nights and listen to him. Great memories.
